THERE is one man to whom the citi-
zens of Honolulu owe a deep debt of
gratitude, and that man is Colonel v.
Y. Ashford. 1t is to his military skill
and nerve that the safety of the town,
during a period of great disorder, is
due. His management of the mate
rial in his hands was above praise.
For over twenty-four hours Colonel
Ashford practically ruled the town,
and the excellent order which was
kept shows how well qualified he was
for the post to which he was called.
Colonel Ashford has the happy faculty
of being able to command men and OF
winning their respect, esteem and at
lection. Credit must also be given to
Col. Ashford's officers and men, who
most ably seconded his efforts. 1t is
a great comfort to know that we have
such men who can act, when called
upon. Our friends abroad will fee.
more satisfied when they know thai
we can take care of ourselves, ano
the recent events show that we are
able to do so.

A Sensible Celebration.
PAAUHAU, HAMAKUA, HAWAII,
Juiv 4th 1897

PAAUHAU, HAMAKUA, HAWAII,
July 4th, 1887.
EDITOR GAZETTE; The natives at Paauhau
" celebrated !" the Fourth of July in unique
way. Instead of marring the day of Freedom
by drunken carouse, the leading spirits of
the native element determined to show that
the manhood of some kanaka at least was
proof against free rum and free opium. A
Blue Ribbon Club of about 30 members was
organized by Miss Green, of Honolulu, some
weeks ago, and though one drunken wretch
did beat his wife because she signed the
pledge, he only furnished good illustration
of the brutality of the vice TO which he was
victim. This Blue Ribbon Club, of which
Judge Man is chairman, held rousing meet
ing IN Paauhau native Church on the Fourth.
After the nesting all adjourned to the hos
pitable mansion of r. A. Lyman, where
iuau was spread. This feast not only aided
a worthy cause by showing who Hawaifs
best friends are, but was social success.
Quite a number of whites were in attend
ance, and the luau was conducted with that
skill of preparation and graceful hospitality
for which the host and hostess are famous
Success to all those who try to develop the
manhood of a fading race. G. r. NUaENT.

A PAGE, and very blurred page in
deed, of Hawaiian history, has been
Turned over. We have now clean
leaf to write on; let the handwriting
be clear and distinct, the figures hon
estly set down and there will be few
found to cavil.
FIRST and foremost, as soon as the
new men shake into their places they
must look out for public works. Rigid
economy must be inaugurated in many
things. the tinsel and glitter will have
to be unhesitatingly swept away, and
what money can possibly be got to
gether be devoted to the public good.
The dredger, which has been lying
idle in the harbor for sixteen months
or so, should be once more set to
work, the roads throughout the King
dom want immediate attention. There
is busy time ahead and plenty of
honest work to be done and honest
wages to be earned. The pushing
forward of public work will also slim
ulate private enterprise, and the fact
that we have stable government,
honest in its financial dealings, and
pledged to cut down every form of
extravaganza, will do much to restore
our shaken credit abroad.
When the news that the new Con
stitution has been signed, and that ii
has met with the approval of the
Diplomatic Representatives of the
Great Powers, is fully understood. we
have no doubt, that Mr.. Wilder will
be able. at once, to obtain his loan fol
his railway and will be able to push
on that work with rapidity. Mr.. Dill
lingham's land scheme Will again loob
ND. and in that there is much hope
for Honolulu. The Canadian Pacific
steamers are to touch here, and pre-
parations must be fastened forward
to be ready for them. This mean:
more work and more wages. Capita
which has been lying idle here fol
some time, owing to the lack of con
fidence in the then existing govern
ment, will be available for home en-
terprise instead of seeking chance
for investment abroad. There is, il
fact, period of brilliant prosperit.
before US, and we must all put on

The new Constitution, as a whole,
we do not intend to review. We re-
gard it as very able document anda
very conservative one. Nothing can
show more clearly to the world, Of
what kind the men were who were en-
gagged in the late revolution. That
there may be flaws in it We have little
doubt. for no work of human hands
ever yet was perfect but it has
stamped on its face one undoubted
and noble mark. 1t was the work of
men who honestly loved liberty and
were trying their very utmost to give
liberty to their fellow citizens. The
power was in the hands of these men
to make any constitution they chose,
and whatever they made it would have
been signed. The greatest credit
then. is due to them for not losing
their heads, and for carefully looking
after the rights of all classes of so
ciety.
The Sections of the Constitution
which most affect the public at large,
are those relating to the franchise.
Every man in the country, of Hawai-
ian or European birth or descent, has
a right to vote for a member of the
House of Mobiles, the only proyiso be-
ing that the voter shall be able to read
and write, and have taxable property
to the amount of $4,000, or yearly
income of 5000; while for the election
of Representatives it is practically
manhood suffrage.
These sections open up the field to
many new voters. The mechanic who,
for wears past, has had no voice in
the administration of affairs, can now
come forward to the ballot-box and
record his opinion in manner which
must be attended to. Before, he
could take little interest in the gov
eminent of the country. He knew
it was bad, but he knew no ready
method for righting the wrong. He
has the remedy in his hands now
Political power, the right to have a
voice in national affairs, is the salt OF
life to the great classes. Once give
man a vote, we mean, OF course, al
intelligent man, and he takes a keenel
interest in the management of public
affairs than he has ever done before
The political apathy of the past car
be explained upon this ground solely
For the future we shall have polit-
zeal vitality that viii be a surprise tt
those who donot understand how mel
value the new franchise.
If this sole thing had been the re
suit of the Hawaiian revolution o
1887, it would have been something
to be proud of, something that tn
trainers of the Constitution nigh
count as one of the greatest of gains
, for their fellow citizens. But the ex
tension of the franchise is not all tina
/ has been gained by any means. Th
. new Constitution throws up other bul
, warks of liberty, and as occasion
serves we shall discuss them Tn
greatest, however, is the franchise ant
for that every man should be thank

July s, 1887.
EDITOR GAZETTE: 1t is gratifying to learn
that the rotten Cabinet of Gibson & Co. is at
last burst up, but allow one, who has a con-
siderable stake in the country, to express
hope that the Green-Thurston Ministry is
only temporary arrangement. Everyone
respects Mr.. Green, but his health is such as
to render it impossible for him to grasp
public affairs, as they need to be, at the
present iuncture. Messrs. Ashford and
Ihurston are, or at any rate have been in
the past too rabid and antagonistic to the
King to make them desirable Cabinet Minis
tiers. We want men of irmness, but they
should also be conciliatory in disposition.
What a pity Mr.. Isenberg was not allowed
10 have his way? Whatever the majority
may feel, the minority is entitled to be
heard, and MIR. Isenberg is representative
of the most important body of taxpayers
to the country, viz: the planters. As it was,
the planters, had no say in the meeting, ex-
cept through Mr.. Walsh, who is not known
as a plantation owner, and who seems to
have taken on himself to act as representa-
tive of the planters generally. Considering
that this meeting has been planned for some
time past, might not planters generally have
been notified of it :?
